Public Relations as it Should Be

Water quality engineering firm Panton McLeod has completed one of its most ambitious and challenging projects with a series of tank cleans in some of the most remote islands in Scotland.

The Scottish Borders-based firm, which specialises in the cleaning, inspection and repair of facilities used to store drinking water, completed a series of work in the Western Isles for Scottish Water – which included cleaning four underground water storage tanks in a single day.

The project included a day’s work at the Water Treatment Works on the Isle of Barra, which saw a team of Panton McLeod engineers drain four tanks at the island’s water treatment works before washing, chlorinating and filling them back for service.

Space Solutions has undertaken the impressive £200,000 project, which saw the firm refurbishing and relocating office space for one of Edinburgh’s leading providers of housing and social care services, a top IT consultancy business and a community counselling charity.

The project began with IT consultancy firm Analysys Mason being relocated from their premises in the city’s Canal Court area to a new bespoke office in Haymarket.

Divorcing couples in Scotland run the risk of putting their settlements in jeopardy if they succumb to the “bitter twitter” urge, according to a Scottish family law solicitor.

Edinburgh firm Gibson Kerr believes that couples who are going through divorce proceedings should be careful about what information they share on social network sites about their partners – and should even consider agreeing internet truce until their divorce is complete.

The firm highlights the trend of using social networking sites to complain about partners during divorce proceedings – or “bitter twittering” – as a phenomenon that is is becoming increasingly prevalent across the Unites States and in the UK.

Legal staff in Edinburgh are benefitting from an innovative new office environment designed for one of the city’s top law and tax firms.

House prices in Scotland will continue to grow across all property types in the long-term, according to Edinburgh’s leading property solicitor.

Estate agency partner Scott Brown explained: “Over the past decade, we’ve seen that the gains on all types of properties in Scotland have been broadly similar. All property types have increased in value since 2000 and these are still in high demand among buyers….”

Scotland’s leading lettings portal has cemented its credentials after being confirmed once again as the UK’s most popular dedicated residential lettings website in July.
